Introductions:
Biafo
Hisper The central Karakoram, first explored and mapped in 1937 and 1939, is
perhaps the wildest of all. It is an area of vast glaciers, high mountains and
remote passes. Length of Biafo Glacier is 68 kilometers / 42 miles long with a
total area of 625 sq. km, which starts from Korofong above Askole village.
Hispar Glacier is 52 Kilometers long. It is only the Hispar pass, which
separates the Hisper and Biafo Glaciers. However, most geographers consider the
two glaciers as one; they call Biafo-Hispar Glacier. If that be so then the 120
kilometers / 75 miles long BIAFO- HISPAR Glacier probably becomes the second
longest glacier in the world (outside the Polar Region). It connects the
ancient mountain kingdoms of Hunza and Baltistan. It is really special because
of its immensity – it is 16 km long and together with the both glaciers it
creates the longest glacial traverse (110 km) outside the poles.
The
trek consist of an easy hike of about 10-13 days depending on weather and
condition of hikers. It is completely isolated with no regular communication
network. No regular trail marks or signposts exist mainly due to shifting
nature of the glaciers. Some campsites are marked though. Food and other
resources need to be hauled. I have provided a link at the bottom to the tour
guides which helped us in acquiring a guide and porters for the trek.
Approaching
Snow Lake following a broad highway of Ice, a huge glaciated basin at 4500
meters, there could be a couple of crevasse areas where it will be necessary to
rope up. Here we have the opportunity to view Biantha Brakk, (7284 m), Snow
Lake peak and Simkiang glacier. From here we ascend the Hispar La and camp on
the summit, which gives us a panoramic sunset and sunrise views of the whole
Biafo - Hispar.
